What Companies Are Paying MBAs This Year

In addition to salary, GMAC reported that companies expect to offer a wide range of benefits to new business hires in 2012. In the United States, Europe, and Latin America, the most commonly offered benefit is that of a benefits package, which typically consists of health benefits and a retirement plan. Among Asia-Pacific, African, and Middle Eastern companies, GMAC said performance-based bonuses will be the most common benefit—a benefit which could serve to offset the lower starting salaries offered to new hires in those regions.
